Liz Lorentzen

As a child, I always had an interest in interior spaces.  This led me on my college path, where I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Architecture.  I found that I had a strong aptitude for interior space planning.

When I moved to Colorado, I worked for a high-end furniture store as a design consultant.  My creativity definitely came into play here, when I got the chance to help several families redesign their spaces with new furniture and great layout plans.  I thrived in that environment.  I was soon offered a new opportunity to grow with a full service interior design firm in Vail, Colorado.  This was an amazing opportunity.  I did space planning, furniture placement, material selection, fabric selection and much more.  With this experience, I learned the importance of great design and great functionality of a home.

When I moved to the Boulder area, I decided to get my real estate license.  Helping people find a house they love was a way to share my passion and my love for architecture and homes.

Getting into the real estate field helped me realize that I could help clients even more!  I could help them find their house, but then I could help them make it feel like home.  That is when my partner Lois and I decided to create SpaceLift.  We thought it would be wonderful to help families love their homes by creating wonderful, functional spaces or to help sellers create a beautiful, functional home for their potential buyers.  I am excited to offer you my creativity and design experience.

I spend a lot of energy transforming a house into a home.  I am a nester, home is my refuge—maybe because I moved so much as a young girl — I lived in 17 houses during my elementary and high school years alone!  With each move, I learned that if I organized and surrounded myself with my things, soon it would feel like home.

In my adult life, I have bought and sold many houses and helped family and friends organize and sell theirs.  I learned how to show houses to their best advantage.  I stage my own house for every day living.  I don’t like clutter and the main theme of my house is hospitality.  I want it to say, “Come sit down and be comfortable.”

When Liz and I decided to start SpaceLift, I brought my strong organizational skills to the partnership.  My career has been wonderful and varied—working in public relations, women’s health, training, project management and education.  I currently own a communications consulting business. You can check it out at www.loisbrittoncommunications.com.

In preparing to start this business, Liz and I became certified home redesigners and real estate stagers.  Now that we’ve been partners for a few years, we know our strengths:  mine are working with clients to find out what they like and want, choosing color, and adding interest to a space with fabric and texture.
